Default glass door fridge

I have a refrigerator with a glass door on it so I need to come out of the side. I was wondering if anyone had any insight on what I can do to have the taps facing the same direction as the door but coming out of the side. it would be ideal if there was a driptray with a tap combo made for this. please help, Im getting thirsty and can't find a solution.

you have to be very carefull there may be refrigerant lines in the sides... might be best to trade the glass front for another fridge...

There is a drip tray with a 14" backsplash (Item #: DP-321D-1). You might could enlarge the hole and/or modify this in some way to hang on the faucet.

You might be forced to use one of those picnic faucets (Item #: BL-4) with the thumb trigger and opening the door of your fridge everytime you want a glass of beer.

An old trick utilized on party ball box was to cut a inch hole in the upper corner and place a short shank with the black flanges on the inside and outside for stability. Attached faucet and pushed with CO2 with approprite amount of 3/16" coiled on top of ball.

You may be able to attempt the same technique using the handle hole in the keg. Place the shank with two flanges (select replacement parts on link)in handle and tighten nut to secure. Install beer line, coupler and faucet; open door and serve.

There is a right angle adapter you could put on a shank coming out the side of the fridge and attach the faucet to that. That would leave a lot of shank outside of the fridge, so it may warm up.
